OPUS ONE GOLD CORP ACQUIRES FIRST PROPERTY WITH STRONG LITHIUM
POTENTIAL
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Montreal, June 22, 2023, Opus One Gold Corp (TSX -V: OOR) (the “ Company” or
“Opus One”) is pleased to announce that on May 23, 2023, it has reached an agreement
for the acquisition of a 100% interest in its first property with strong lithium potential in the
Eeyou Itschee Territory, James Bay, Quebec , in a district that is currently being
intensively explored for its spodumene pegmatites by numerous companies.
After months of property evaluations, the company elected to get involved in this area of
the James Bay which is particularly active for lithium exploration. It took some time for
Opus One to secure these properties because of the restrictive parameters established
by the company for property acquisition:
1. Properties selected must be located within prospective districts.
2. Properties selected must be accessible by land for low- cost exploration and
development (trucks or ATV’s)
3. Properties must show excellent potential for discoveries.
The property is called ‘La Grande’ and is located within the La Grande lithium exploration
district. The property is located approximately 70 km to the west of the Corvette discovery
(Patriot Battery Metals) and 10 km to the south of the Cancet discovery (Windsome
Resources) and consists of 3 claim blocks covering an area of 1,541 hectares.
Prospecting by the previous owner outlined the presence of at least 18 pegmatites on the
three blocks. Two of the three blocks are accessible by the Trans-taïga road using ATV’s.
The third (and smallest) block is more remote.
The terms of the option agreement between Opus One and the owners consists of a cash
payment of 40,000.00$CDN; 4,250,000 Opus One shares, valued at 0.05$ per share and
1,000,000 warrants exercisable at 0.10$ for a period of 18 months; all of the above divided
within 3 claims owners based on their ownership percentage. The transaction is
conditional upon TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") approval.
The company is gearing up for a summer prospecting, mapping and sampling program
on the property. A field crew should be mobilized in July, hoping that the wildfires issue
will be resolved by then. The field program is fully funded, and all needed crew has been
secured.
Louis Morin CEO of Opus One commented: “ We established a first partnership with
seasoned and dedicated prospectors. Our first lithium property corresponds precisely to
our corporate criteria as for accessibility and mineral potential. At Opus One we are
always careful to wisely spend our funds to create maximum value for our shareholders.
We secured a first-class competent crew to conduct our upcoming summer field program
and we are fully financed to proceed. We are also actively looking at other lithium projects
to enhance our portfolio.
MAGNA TERRA MINERALS INC., the company from winch Opus One is acquiring the
Noyell gold property, released an update about the property and the transaction on May
20, 2023. Opus One successfully completed its penultimate payment in May, with the
final payment due in May 2024. Once the final payment will be completed, Opus One will
own 100% of the Noyell property.
